Check out this incredible photo finish for a MARATHON. It's like something out of a movie.

The Los Angeles Marathon saw its closest finish in its 41-year history on Sunday morning.

Michael Kamau, of Kenya, led the final stretch on Santa Monica Boulevard, but Nathan Martin kicked into high gear and hawked down Kamau, passing him just steps in front of the finish line as Kamau stretched out his arms and collapsed in a last-ditch effort to finish in first.

The American's unofficial time recorded at 2:11:18, with Kamau 0.18 seconds behind.

He is the second American male to win the LA Marathon, after Matt Richtman a year ago.
